Continuing on the theme of art – After the art museum, and walking through the park, I headed South along the Western bank of the river toward an interesting sculpture installation that I’d earmarked for myself some months before. I can’t quite recall where I saw it, or why, but… you know what? Past me thought it would be interesting to check out, so present me is gonna roll with it.
And roll with it I did – It was a lovely walk down the slopes of the garden to my destination – Wandering through the trees and along the river was nice and cool, with some pretty good people watching thanks to a concert venue nearby that was just starting sound checks.
Soon enough, though, I found David Černý’s installation – A set of three rather large, and quite faceless, babies crawling around.
They were neat – worth noting down in the blog, and rather photogenic, but frankly there isn’t too much to tell about them. They’re centrally located, in a pretty area by the river, but nothing about it really stands out… they’re just a neat sculpture that I’m glad I took a few minutes to check out.
From the babies, I continued my adventures and explorations, finding another (far more haunting) installation. This one was a memorial, instead of an artistic installation, specifically to those who’s lives were ruined by the Communist State. I came across it unexpectedly, so it took me a moment to really recognize what I was looking at… but once I did, I really appreciated the sculptor’s work.
